Levee

If it keeps on raining... the levee's going to break.

Stink-O-Rama

Stinky. When an animal crawls under your house and dies... it's stinky.... and there are a lot of flies coming out of the tiny crawlspace... and NO! I'm not going down there, on my belly, to drag out the carcass!!!

Termite Doomsday

Thursday, June 11 — It had been on the calendar for months... the week when everything would be perfect and we could tent the house. My folks took the kids for a long weekend (which included a trip to Alexander Springs); the animals were boarded; the medicines, food, and toiletries stowed in gas proof bags; and finally, Jimmy and I moved in with my grandparents.

It was hard to take poor Laika to be boarded, just days after she lost her brother and litter-mate, whom she had never been apart from for more than a few hours.

Saturday a.m. they called and told us we could come back in, so I had a day all to myself, to clean and clear my kitchen... special thanks to Graham Parsons and Paul Westerburg for some excellent tunes to clean by. I threw out a canister of 19-year-old cocoa!!! Whoa!!! Also threw out about a million expired vitamins and medicines....

You were a good, loving, gentle boy.
You will be missed.

Trimming the Pecan

A crew came out and trimmed the Pecan tree yesterday. They have been all through the neighborhood this month, trimming everything.

Some little pecans are starting to be seen....

Break

The rain started maybe the afternoon that the stucco work was finished, and it continued up until this week. A slight break in the weather pattern brought us a few sunny days for painting /priming, both inside and out.

No, it's not done.

Yes, it is raining.
